WTF – I Am Dissapointed With The Gay Community!

WTFBlog is a mild success because of all the hard work I put in, but mainly it is due to the readers, and how does WTFBlog get readers? social networking sites is where most of the traffic comes from, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook, and a few others,.

People are more than happy to re-post an article I have posted about a hot naked guy, but when it comes to issues that should REALLY mean something to them, they don’t bother, because they simply do not care, they would prefer to sit back and have someone else do the work for them, I mean, re-posting something important takes HOURS right?

Not one single person has re-posted an article in regards to the National Equality March, or how about those websites that have petitions on them for you to sign to help YOU get those gay rights?

And its not just an internet issue here, last year when California was fighting Prop H8, people chose to go out and get drunk and left phone banks and the door to door efforts to someone else, where are your priorities gay people? You want to know why Prop 8 passed? Its because of lazy bitches who could not be fucking bothered to DO SOMETHING, and these same people are now complaining that they can’t get married, well boo-hoo, it’s too little, and its way too late.

Barney Frank said recently in an interview about The National Equality March,(and if you don’t know who Barney Frank is, educate yourself and google him)

“I literally don’t understand how this will do anything. People are kidding themselves. I don’t want people patting themselves on the back for doing something that is useless. Barack Obama does not need pressure.”

Now maybe I am wrong here, but isn’t that how civil rights are achieved? with PRESSURE? How, in the 21st century will we pressure Washington to give us the rights we deserve?

The answer is rather simple, you are using it right now.

WE will not obtain equal rights under the law if everyone had the “someone else will fight for me” attitude.

So next time you see someone posting something about gay rights, about a rally, about contacting representatives appealing to them to support bills that will benefit the gay community, do us all a favor and take 2 SECONDS of your time and re-post it, maybe YOU don’t give a fuck about your own rights, but I can assure you someone you know WILL.

You USE the internet to plan your social life, how about you wake the fuck up and USE IT TO HELP YOU GET YOUR RIGHTS YOU DESERVE.

I too dislike that most people these days of every sexual preference are so apathetic, unaware and apolitical. It’s a product of this culture of entertainment, with entertainment being the new “opiate of the masses.” That said, the commentator might consider that some of us are not engaged in issues like so-called marriage equality because we don’t support them. I can speak only for myself, but I’m a politically conscious man who prefers men, and I see agendas such as gay marriage as that of a class of relatively privileged self-identified gay white guys and lesbians of or stemming from the upper-middle classes to consolidate their class privileges by becoming “normal.” Such agendas are about fully integrating into the existing structures of power, not challenging them. I suppose that’s to be expected when you consider who these gay activists are, where they come from, what their interests really are and who is left out of their agendas and ideologies (which are quite narrow and exclusionary). Fine. But for those of us who think power should be challenged and critiqued rather than accommodated and aspired to, gay marriage is a very bad joke.
